I am trying to generate the full URL for a route link in my razor view for ASP.NET MVC 3. I know I can use Html.RouteLink to generate a link however all I want is the URL, not the surrounding a tag wrapper. Is there a way to do this?

Are you talking about:
<a href="@Url.Action("Action", "Controller", new { @id = "2" })">
Link to Page</a>
vs.
@Html.ActionLink("Link to page", "Action", "Controller", new { @id = "2" })
The Url
Model builds only Links; Html
builds the HTML as well.

Use RouteUrl
as tvanfosson proposes.
I would just want to mention T4MVC adds the extension ActionAbsolute
to create a full url from an action.
